Bitcoin mining sous-vide slow cooker, I wonder how well it would work?

I'm thinking I could cook some meat in a sealed package in the oil of the Bitcoin mining hot water heater.

The temperature range of the oil is pretty much perfect for sous-vide. 60c at the low end and 74c at the top end. I could probably fudge it one way or another if need be.

What could go wrong?!...

Imagine a contraption that mines Bitcoin, heats your water, cooks your dinner. Wow.

What you are making is definitely crazier than what I am making. You win sir.

Gerald Glickman 1y ago

We all win, life is not a contest!

So much winning, Bitcoin wins!

rev.hodl 1y ago

What are you working on?

mIX 1y ago

Hopefully you're making health choices for your miner and meats. #NoSeedOils ;P

Gerald Glickman 1y ago

Amazing. Make sure that vacuum seal holds 😬

Worst case you run another water loop to derisk it, but brilliant idea! 👏💪🙏

rev.hodl 1y ago

Yeah, don't want that yucky oil ever coming in contact with food. Even though it's food grade, it's probably got all kinds of nasty shit in it from the miner.

Bill Cypher 1y ago

Yeah, and you'll be cleaning food juices off your miner and throwing away all that oil too if you have a leak. Possible but second loop is best.

Bitcoin aromas and flavors, love it

I'd imagine it to be subtle, just the slightest essence of hash spice.

Could and should are two different things here. Plenty of other convenient cooking methods to use to avoid the micro plastics.

Until miners can condense heat output to a heating element cooking with miners is kinda limiting.

A miner heated insulated box to subsidize the heat from a crock pot perhaps?

rev.hodl 1y ago

What about a silicone sous-vide bag? I could also isolate the bag in a separate tank of oil to completely avoid icky miner guck.

AC 1y ago

I'm not super familiar with the cooking method, but gather the food is in direct contact with plastic during cooking temps... Which is a no go in my wife's kitchen.

I suspect silicon will be one of those things decades from now that's found to not be as safe as the claims make it seem.

(I'm not saying don't do this, I don't care what other people do, but considering scientific research is finding micro plastics in our blood, muscle tissues, including heart, and more it's not something I'd recommend personally. We only get one body. Health over wealth.)

If mining heat could be concentrated it would open up so much more potential.

rev.hodl 1y ago

There's got to be a safe material that is waterproof that can snuggle right up against it to allow for maximum/even conduction of the heat.

AC 1y ago

Maybe a food safe stainless steel or copper container with a silicon seal? Something like that would probably be at risk of exploding unless there's a pressure release vent I'd assume.

rev.hodl 1y ago

I think it needs to be more like a flexible membrane that can be in direct contact with the food, no air pockets.

AC 1y ago

The other idea I just had would be to use a regular pot that's mostly submerged in the warm/hot medium being heated by the miner. This would actually mimic how crock pots function.

rev.hodl 1y ago

Yeah, maybe I should just put the crock pot in there and see what happens.

AC 1y ago

Yes I like this idea better. They are designed with the extra mass. The tank of dielectric fluid becomes the range cook top. 😁

Jdwagner17 1y ago

Dude this is crazy

rev.hodl 1y ago

Would be cool to shove a whole rabbit in there.

bitcoin mining slow cooker is the future, love this experiment!

Adrian M Lopez 1y ago

This type of stuff excited the hell out of me for the future of our technology

60°c is the perfect temp for black garlic. Regular garlic has to sit at that temp for an extended period of time and then it chemically changes. Most black garlic is grown, prepared and packed overseas, so some people are leery of it. That would be a great value add for local grown garlic that was grown responsibly.

I grow a shit load of garlic!

The Bitcoin mining hot water heater is also a sous-vide slow cooker!

I couldn't help myself and had to try cooking something in the oil of the bitcoin mining hot water heater, so I ordered up a reusable silicone bag.

I had a couple neck roasts lambs I had recently butchered here at the homestead, which were a pretty low risk roast to sacrifice if it didn't turn out. I coated the roasts with olive oil, rosemary, thyme, and salt along with garlic and onion and tossed it all in the bag.

I cooked the roasts for about 3 days in the hot canola oil bath, and I was shocked at how well it turned out! Scrumptious aromas and flavors of the fall off the bone meat. Wonder what I should try next?

How’s the hashrate on that beast?

rev.hodl 11mo ago

It makes 750-1500w of hashes.
